There aren’t many devices as anticipated on a yearly basis as Samsung’s Galaxy series of phones. With 2022 quickly approaching we are starting to get our hands on the specs and design of the upcoming Galaxy S22 lineup.

Galaxy S22 Design

Design-wise the S22 and S22+ may be very similar to the Galaxy S21 series of devices, but slightly smaller. Potential color options that might be available are white, black, green, and rose gold.

The S22 is where the design gets exciting, especially if you are a Samsung Note fan. Rumors are pointing to a larger Ultra due to the inclusion of a built-in S-Pen! It may also feature a less rounded design, keeping in line with the Ultra being a Note replacement. Color options for the Ultra are black, white, green, and dark red.

The Galaxy S22 and the S22+ will continue to have the same glass-like plastic back as the S21 devices, while the S22 Ultra will have a glass back.

Galaxy S22 Specs

The Display and Battery

Leaker Tron (@FrontTron) is expecting the displays for the Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra to be 6.06 inches, 6.55 inches, and 6.81 inches respectively. The S22 and S22+ will be FHD+ and the Ultra will sport a QHD+ display. All three displays will have a 120Hz refresh rate.

Tron also estimates battery capacity for the S22 to have a 3800mAh battery, the S22+ to have a 4600mAh battery, and the S22 Ultra to have a 5000mAh battery.

The Camera System

The Galaxy S22 and the S22+ are expected to have a triple camera rear setup with a 50MP main shooter, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP telephoto lens.

Twitter leaker Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) expects the S22 Ultra to have a quad-camera system with a 108MP lens, a 12MP ultra-wide, a 10MP telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.

Performance

The entire S22 series of devices is expected to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset. Due to low yields, it is not yet clear if certain markets will get the new AMD and Samsung collaborated Exynos 2200 chipset.

RAM capacity should remain the same at 8GB for the S22 and the S22+. While the S22 Ultra will be getting 12GB of RAM. Samsung may debut their new LPDDR5X DRAM with the S22 series of devices. Compared to the previous generation of LPDDR5, Samsung promises up to a 1.3x speed increase while using 20% less power.

Galaxy S22 Price

The S22 series is expected to go up slightly in price. The S22 is set to cost $799, the S22+ will be $999 and the S22 Ultra will be $1199.

Offsetting the price increase a little is that rumors point to the S22+ and the Ultra as having a base of 256GB of storage.

The Galaxy S22 series is expected to launch sometime between January and March with most sources expecting a February launch.

OnePlus announced the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro in March of 2021. According to rumors, OnePlus is looking to move that date up for their next release. The OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 10 Pro might arrive in late January 2022 or early February 2022.

The Design

The well-known and reliable leaker, Steve Hemmerstoffer of @OnLeaks, in collaboration with Zouton has released a new round of renders, showing the OnePlus 10 Pro in much more detail.

The front of the device features slim bezels and a small hole punch at the top left corner for the front-facing camera.

Around the back, there is a Hasselblad triple camera setup with a very Samsung Galaxy S21 look. The expectation is that OnePlus dropped the monochrome camera sensor from the device this year. The OnePlus 10 Pro may have a periscope lens with a 5x optical zoom.

Additional information about the specs is starting to surface. 91mobiles has shared that both the OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 10 Pro should launch with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Both devices will have 8 – 12 GB of RAM.

The OnePlus 10 sports a 6.55-inch display, while the OnePlus 10 Pro is should have a 6.7-inch display. Rumors point to both displays having a 120Hz refresh rate.

Battery capacity seems to be up for debate at the moment. The OnePlus 10 is expected to have a 4500 mAh battery. Some rumors point to the OnePlus 10 Pro as having a 5000 mAh capacity but take that last bit with a grain of salt.

There is a possibility that these devices may have 125-Watt fast charging support.

The OnePlus 10 series of devices should be the first ones to have the new Oppo-OnePlus combined OS.

The OnePlus 10 series should be priced similarly to the OnePlus 9 series. For reference, the OnePlus 9 sold for $729 and the OnePlus 9 Pro sells for $1069.

Samsung announced the official release of its One UI 4 update. The Android 12 based software update will begin rolling out to Galaxy S21 series devices today. This includes the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

One UI 4 introduces new color palettes which is Samsung’s take on Android 12’s Material You design update. This allows the operating system to extract the colors from your background. It then applies the colors to various elements throughout the phone. These elements include your home screen, menus, icons, buttons, and notifications.

One UI 4 introduces a variety of new emoji features, GIFs, and stickers to the Samsung keyboard app.

A major focus of Android 12, outside of the new Material You design language, is on privacy and security. A new privacy dashboard brings all your security and privacy controls to the same place.

One UI 4 Privacy Features

Your device will now let you know when an app is trying to access your camera or microphone with a green icon at the top of your screen. You can even add buttons to your quick settings menu to turn off access to the camera and the microphone.

Samsung indicated that the One UI 4 update will be coming at a later date to a wide range of previous Galaxy S, Note, Fold, Flip, A, and Tab devices.

If you are the proud owner of a Galaxy S21 device, go to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install to get the update.

It is rolling out now, so it may take a while to get to your device. If you have a carrier-locked Galaxy S21, you will have to wait for the carrier to make it available, which could take a while.
